Lion Dance II with Drums

Our group continued on from our last meeting learning more about the Lion Dance. We continued to practice how the dance is done, but this time we added a new move to the dance as well as implementing a drum. The drum is designed to carry on the beat and movement of the lion, especially when the lion bows three times. The drum carries the beat and rhythm for the cheerleaders/dancers as well.

This was a fascinating meeting learning more about the Lion Dance. I always enjoy seeing how different cultures celebrate, especially through dance. I am looking forward to learning more about this dance and getting better at it myself.
